Takuya Onuki
The Yusaku Kamekura Design Award was established in 1999 to honor the achievements of the late graphic designer Yusaku Kamekura (1915-1997) and to promote the further development of the graphic design field. Operation of the award program and selection of the winner, chosen annually, are performed by the Japan Graphic Design Association Inc. (JAGDA). JAGDA awards the prize to the designer whose work or works are judged most worthy among all entries featured in its yearbook, Graphic Design in Japan.
Onuki received the 24th Yusaku Kamekura Design Award for his 2021 “Hiroshima Appeals” peace poster and related items. In addition to creating the poster itself, using augmented reality (AR) and a smartphone it’s possible to see a visual depiction of the poster’s white dove appearing out of black snow. The judges praised the work highly. One cited its powerful message and the vivid contrast between the scariness of the black snow globe and the beauty of the white dove. Another judge admired the superlative level of perfection in the work’s construction, including the three-dimensional form of the dove. A third judge commented on the clearly felt determination of the designer to convey, through use of new technology, the memory of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima to the next generation, adding a new dimension to this long-running peace campaign.
This solo exhibition of works by Takuya Onuki will be held to commemorate his receipt of the 24th Yusaku Kamekura Design Award.
